I just got the message that Adobe has decided to stop supporting Flash at the end of 2020. Adobe is now trying to make the internet Flash free and force websites (such as to shift towards faster and more secure technologies. They plan to dump Flash completely by December 2020.
For 20 years, Flash has helped shape the way that you watch videos or slide shows on our website and run applications on the web. Relevant to you, though, it's provided a hundred or more collections of documents that have been placed into the public domain, and shared among history enthusiasts. But over the last few years, Flash has become less common. Sites are migrating to open web technologies, so they say, which are faster and more power-efficient than Flash.
(What do we care about faster? I care about INFORMATION TRANSMISSION!
0pen web technologies have become the default experience for Chrome ("blink your eye and you missed it") when sites started needing to ask your permission to run Flash. Chrome will continue phasing out Flash , first by asking for your permission to run Flash in more situations, and eventually disabling it by default. Chrome will remove Flash completely toward the end of 2020.
The entirety of the Vietnam 2/503 Newsletter, which runs on Flash, will be affected. It will cease to run. All the periodic Reports of the 503rd PRCT too.
I am being told that "if I migrate to web standards", then you shouldn't notice much difference.
WTF!! I am a self-taught webmaster, stuck in the +65 years old and over bracket, what the f**k do i know about new web standards?
Face it. The internet used to be available to amateurs, who could create sites like Corregidor Historic Society, and keep them going for twenty years. The powers that be have moved the internet to a point where only the big corporate sites can survive.
Because only the big corporate sites that are FUNDED, can survive.
Yes, this is a plea for help.
Otherwise, one day, you will visit us and find that some of the major features we have done together will have gone. Can you imagine the ignorance then?
